Fantastic Foreskin posted:Like I said before, Deepnest is Team Cherry's greatest accomplishment, for crafting a space so viscerally unpleasant to be in. Its emotionally resonant in a way I don't think I've experienced in any other videogame. Exploring it alone, in the dark, with headphones on was probably instrumental in such, but I contend its the "proper" way to do Deepnest anyways. Yeah so far I'd agree entirely with this understanding of the Deepnest. Ideally this is how I think it should be experienced, but equally if I experienced it that way I probably wouldn't be playing the game 20 minutes later.

"Eight legs good, six legs bad." I for one cannot wait to see what Team Cherry come up with for Silksongs Deepnest analogue. In 2030.

Everything about Deepnest is designed to make you feel isolated, claustrophobic and unwelcome. I loved it, but I can imagine why someone who has issues with feeling isolated in games when they don't have other characters to talk to it would be awful.

I'm surprised Nat was able to slip out of that spike pit at 15:40 no problem. Handling poo poo like a boss.

I'm going to be on the edge of my seat until you rescue Zote. Also if you haven't realized it by now, enemies love to make a beeline for you as soon as you start healing. You better be absolutely sure that you'll be able to pop off a heal in time if you go for one!

I think Galien is the toughest of the ghost bosses, even harder than Markoth I'm very tempted to spoil Nat on returning to Kingdom's Edge before he fully explores Deepnest. One thing in particular unlocks a very important lore bit that would otherwise be missed.

Nat walked into that room with the bench before, but it was blocked off by a one way door, so you didnt actually make it to the bench itself.

I dunno if you realize, but you can do a double jump off of a pogo. Also, if you dream nail a Warrior Dream they'll fight you immediately, so if you need to refight them you can skip their dialogue that way. And yeah you can walk past Warrior Dreams - if you don't have the dream nail they don't appear at all, so they can't block off anything.

Yeah the purpose of that room, and a few others like it is to show you to always check the area around/below/above a boss arena before engaging the fight, if you have the option.

Hollow Knight is great because there's always another hidden alcove you never notice. Heck I have this LP to thank for showing me how to get to the Geo Cache in King Stations A consequence of this design is that no two reviews are ever the same on saying how a first run "should" progress, because it is different for everyone. I saw one video that said the normal way to enter City of Tears was via the Tramway in the Ancient Basin

Oooh, Nat found the Grey Mourner! Get ready to make her very sad. Also Nat's inability to read the map even with the compass would be funny if it weren't so maddening.

I really like the Grey Mourner's weird way of speaking, it gives the flower quest such a surreal feeling. That tram pin has to be the most pointless map pin in the game. You can already see the tram stations on the base map!

Yeah, after seeing Nat getting lost on the way to Galien without the compass despite being there just minutes ago, I'm willing to cut some slack on having it equipped all the time. I knew people got lost, but not this badly!

I feel like someone needs to tell Nat that you don't have to jump to stomp. Sadly I don't think Tea knows that.

Nat should hopefully have an easier time than most. Being comfortable hanging back and killing stuff with your spells is your best bet for success on that quest.

Oh thank Goodness. Also, if you go to the Failed Tramway before the Ancient Basin, Cloth will appear on the Tramway bench! All she says is "haha, this sucks". Also also, I forgot to point it out before but the Ancient Basin stag station wasn't in the original release of the game. So if you wanted to come back to that area, you had to take the tram or hoof it from King's Station.

Man, I forgot how many paths the map just doesn't show you. Tea might have to direct Nat towards Nosk if we're going to see that boss.

Glad I'm not the only one that completely forgets about howling wraiths because it's given to you too late in the game, well after your internalised moveset has calcified.

I'm pretty sure he did but now I'm second guessing myself. I have various playthroughs of games on as background noise sometimes and occasionally they blend together.

Started another game and ended up with the Tram Pass with no nail/health/soul upgrades/4 charm notches before I even got to the City. That was rough. At least I was smart enough to not fight the Brooding Mawlek right at the start of the game. It's so easy to pogo up those wall spikes to get there and I forgot what it led to. I'm on a completely different route than last time, which is part of why this might be my favorite metroidvania. You have to go really deep to hit a true dead end and even if you can't continue you'll have found a bunch of stuff on the way so you still feel like it was worth it. Edit: And now I get to fight Soul Master with a twice upgraded nail and Fragile Strength. Similar thing happened last game where I didn't fight the Mantis Lords until very late and just wrecked them by the time I got there.

I'm disappointed that Nat didn't follow through on redoing the first Trial. Shame on you! Oh well, it's not like there's anything waiting for you if you redo it...except, you know, the hardest boss fight in the game against Zote the Mighty.
